<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Delivered from slavery, Shira now lives in freedom at the foot of Mount Sinai. When the people disobey Yahweh and build a golden idol--and chaos erupts--Shira helps a woman in labor and discovers her calling in life. But after a delivery goes wrong, she finds herself in an impossible situation. Can she let go of the pain in her past and embrace love?<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>In the Depth of the Storm's Shadow, Only Truth Can Light Her Way <br/><br/></b>Having escaped Egypt with the other Hebrews during the Exodus, Shira is now living in freedom at the foot of Mt. Sinai, upon which rests the fiery glowing Cloud containing the <i>shekinah</i> glory of God. When the people disobey Yahweh and build a golden idol, the ensuing chaos gives Shira an unexpected opportunity to learn the arts of midwifery. Although her mother wishes for her to continue in the family weaving trade, Shira's gifts shine brightest when she assists with deliveries. In defiance of her mother, Shira pursues her heart's calling to become an apprentice midwife.<br/><br/>When a delivery goes horribly wrong, Shira finds herself bound to a man who betrayed her, the caretaker of three young children, and the target of a vengeful woman whose husband was killed by Shira's people, the Levites. As contention between the Hebrew tribes and the foreigners fans the flames of another dangerous rebellion, Shira will come face-to-face with the heartbreak of her past that she has kept hidden for so long. How can she let go of all that has defined her to accept the love she's denied herself and embrace who she truly is?<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><b>In the darkness of the storm's shadow, only truth can light her way. <br/></b><br/>Having escaped Egypt with the other Hebrews during the Exodus, Shira is now living in freedom at the foot of Mount Sinai.
